Recommendation (the Committee's words)
Particular attention should be paid in the more robust audit now being introduced to ensure that the administrative and office expenditure allowance is not being used to provide benefit to a party political organisation. Should the audit show it to be necessary, the independent regulator should ban payments from expenses to party political organisations.
